NY Tech Talent Pipeline

Making gender parity in tech a reality

A more diverse tech workforce is more creative and effective. At Flatiron School, we have the opportunity to fast-track tomorrow’s female tech talent into the industry – and change the culture for the better. Here’s how we’re working to make gender parity in tech a reality.

Over $1M in scholarships

An inclusive community

Inspiring industrywide change

We model the tech culture we want to see; our students carry that with them as they launch careers.

Scholarships

Awarding $1 million toward women’s coding education

To date, Flatiron School has awarded over $1 million in scholarships to make a life-changing coding education more accessible to aspiring female programmers. We launched our ongoing Women Take Tech scholarship fund to take this commitment a step further.

Identical graduation rates

No wage gap

“Diversity as we often discuss it is a proxy for diversity of thought. Having a wide range of views and experiences represented on your team means you’ll be in a better position to see — and solve — more and bigger problems. The bottom line: You can’t effectively build products for the whole world if your organization only represents a small slice of it.”

Community

Creating a community that inspires confidence

Through custom programming, events, and pedagogy, we strive to create an inclusive environment for women to build their skills and prepare for an industry ready for change.

Women's-Only Study Sessions

In these monthly sessions, we offer a welcoming space for women to broaden their technical skills and collaborate.

Co-Founder, Waddle

“It’s really still very much a boys club in the tech space, so go in there with confidence and find other women who can support you in your journey… you’re not in it alone. It can be easy to think, ‘I’m not a code genius, this isn’t the place for me!’ But it’s not true.” Read more

Stephanie Oh

Product Manager, InMarket

“When you’re a junior developer, you learn quickly; you rely on that. Even today, leaving work I thought, ‘I’m not prepared for this thing I have to build.’ But, in a way, that’s good. It’s a sign that I’m constantly being challenged to grow.” Read more
